Sales topper headed to Brent Lilley stables
The sales topper at the 2016 Australasian Premier Trotting Sale held today Sunday the 13th of March in Melbourne is destined for the Brent Lilley harness racing stable.
A colt by Majestic Son (sire of two-year-old Group 1 two-year-old winners Im Stately, Daenarys Targaryen and One Over Da Moon) out of proven producer Pinevale Ellason (Duchess Ella, Ruby Pinevale and All Star Angus) sold for $47,000 to Jim Connelly and will join the powerful Lilley yard.
“Really pleased we got him,” Lilley said.
“We had a good look around and thought he was the pick of the sale. On type obviously and breeding, he ticks both boxes.”
Seller Terry Forster was “rapt” with the result.
“We’re delighted with the result. It’ll keep the wheels turning,” he said.
“We were hoping we’d go close to topping the sale because of the breeding and the progeny that this mare has had.”
Preparer Pauleen Thomson was also thrilled with the result and she had an extra special day because two of the yearlings she prepared were among the top three priced sales of the day.
Thomson prepared Lot 10, the sales topper, and Lot 13, a colt by Majestic Son out of Cloud Chaser which sold for $36,000.
“I’m absolutely rapt. I couldn’t believe it,” she said.
“He’s always been a really nice colt,” Thomson said of the Majestic Son/Pinevale Ellason colt.
“He’s got a beautiful nature, no problems at all, just a really nice natured animal.”
The second highest priced sale was Lot 31, a bay colt by Aldebaran Park first season sire Yield Boko out of Joyces Choice, prepared by Haley Toulmin. It went for $40,000.
This year’s sale average was $14,900, up from last year’s average of $12,900 (an increase of about 7.5 per cent).
